Descripción
Sumario:This document analyzes the job satisfaction as an indicator of professional development among collaborators at the University of La Guajira (Colombia). Such indicator generates a synergy that promotes collaborative work aiming to the achievement of objectives included into the institutional mission. Methodologically, it is a research in harmony with the positivist paradigm, descriptive and analytical, with a non-experimental, transactional field design. For the information-gathering, surveys of 24 items with multiple choice options were applied to 59 administrative career employees. The instrument was validated by 5 experts and a Cronbach's Alpha of 91% reliability was obtained. It is concluded that job satisfaction as an indicator of development is based on factors external to the institution under study, and that it promotes synergy, coexistence and well-being among employees, promoting professional development in work areas. Likewise, it is suggested to maintain the satisfaction factor in working places, managing to increase the motivation in the work performance of the administrative career collaborators.
